3. Call for participation

The Solid Modeling symposia series is an international forum for the exchange of recent research and applications of solid modeling, shape modeling, and geometric computation in design, analysis and manufacturing, as well as in the emerging biomedical, geophysical and other areas. This highly successful symposium, which has been held bi-annually since 1991, brings together prominent researchers, key practitioners, and numerous students in the field.Starting in 2002, it will be held annually, alternating in location between the USA and the other countries with a two year period.

The Solid Modeling 2002 symposium will be held at the Max-Planck Institut für Infomatik, in Saarbrücken, Germany. In addition to technical papers in plenary sessions, the program for Solid Modeling 2002 will include:

Topics of interest for Solid Modeling 2002 include, but are not limited to:
